Forgive me Dark Lord, for I have sinned. It has been a very short space of time since my last transgression...
Arise thread. Linger not on the depths of page 4.
OK. I did a bad thing. A very bad thing. Of which I am truly ashamed...
It might be -
1. Raising a thread that is well over 18 months old...
2. Neglecting to actually finish this in good time...
3. Depriving you lot of my comedic wit...
4. Depriving you lot of my rushed paintjobs...
5. All of the above.
But no. My greatest sin has been allowing this to die, and having so many new members who have yet to learn of the warm embrace of Elf hatred. I'm sorry. Truly I am. So, without further ado, let the vitriolic outbursts continue.
So, where were we?
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far aw... Nope, wrong film. Ages ago, I had a plan. A plan of grand designs. To collect, build and paint every model for every sourcebook. Fall of the Necromancer was the starting point. And for a while, the finishing point too.
Well, no longer. With the completion of my To9G quota for the month, I turned my attention back to the pointy-ear, tree-hugging, gender-bending Elves staring at me accusingly, and forced myself to apply the brush to them. Only because the lash was out of reach and I couldn't be bothered moving to get it.
So, this morning has been a frenzy of, well, cursing and swearing, and gnashing of teeth, thoughts of taking my own life. I even sent Mr.s G out of the room so that she didn't see my secret shame.
Yes. I admit it. I painted some Elves. 14 of them to be precise. Oooooh, the shame.
I had 12 Wood Elves nearly done, along with the hermaphrodite Banner carrier, so they were quick enough to finish off, especially as I treated them to a little Devlan Mud bath. Yeah, take that pansies, let's see how you keep those robes clean now... Ahem. And that old codger, Cirdan, well, I figured he would be quick enough to complete, so, and it pains me to say this, got a lot of attention. And not of the torture and mutilation kind... I don't recall ever doing 4 layers on any models face. Friggin Elves. Still have to add grass to the bases.
So, where does that leave me now? Well, still knee deep in Elves unfortunately. And none of them are dead. Yet.
The remaining FotN minis.
Characters and Command
High Elf Spearmen
High Elf Archers
High Elf Swordsmen
Two Wizards and a pointy-eared Prince
And finally, some Evil models. 6 Warg Riders. A little something to keep my black heart focused on the task at hand.
So, hopefully, now that I've gotten the horrible plastic Wood Elves out of the way, I can move forward. Here's hoping. Then I'll never have to paint another bloody Elf ever again. until the next Elf-loving supplement...
